How Parents Can Entertain Kids During a Party While Still Managing the Event

Writer: Cecilia NagelCecilia Nagel


Planning and hosting a kids’ party is no small feat. Between coordinating activities, managing the schedule, and ensuring everything runs smoothly, parents can easily find themselves overwhelmed. But what if you could keep the kids engaged and entertained while still having time to manage the event effortlessly? Here are some expert tips to help you do just that!


1. Plan Structured Activities

Children thrive on structured entertainment. Plan a mix of games, crafts, and performances that keep them engaged while giving you time to oversee the event. Some ideas include:

  • Interactive Storytime: Let a character bring the magic to life with an engaging storytelling session.

  • Craft Stations: Activities like DIY crowns, wands, or keepsake potions allow kids to have fun while staying in one place.

  • Musical Games: Games like musical chairs or freeze dance are easy to set up and run while managing other tasks.


2. Hire Professional Entertainers

Instead of juggling everything yourself, bring in professional entertainers to take the pressure off. Our trained performers at Princess Maggie specialize in themed parties, from princesses to superheroes, engaging kids with interactive shows, face painting, and games. This allows you to focus on hosting and enjoying the special moments.


3. Delegate Responsibilities

Parents don’t have to do it all alone! Assign small tasks to friends, family, or even older siblings to help keep things on track. Whether it’s overseeing a craft station or keeping an eye on the snack table, a little help goes a long way.


4. Use Engaging Party Hosts

A party host can act as the event’s energy source, guiding kids through activities and keeping the event running smoothly. Our party hosts are trained to engage children in a way that keeps them entertained while you manage logistics.


5. Create a Party Flow That Works

Set up your event with a well-thought-out schedule that alternates high-energy activities with calmer moments. For example:

  • Welcome and free play (15 minutes)

  • Icebreaker game (15 minutes)

  • Main entertainment (30 minutes)

  • Themed activity or craft (30 minutes)

  • Snack and cake cutting (20 minutes)

  • Farewell and photo ops (20 minutes)


6. Make It a Magical Experience

Themed events make parties unforgettable. At Princess Maggie, we bring the magic to life with customized experiences that include character interactions, royal coronations, immersive storytelling, and themed games. With our entertainers taking the lead, you can enjoy the party stress-free!
